The Reykjavík University (RU) website is many faceted. Each department has their own section as well as numerous research units, centres and labs. The RU umbrella also covers the MBA and MPM schools, Iceland School of Energy, the Open University, Skema.is and Háskólagrunnur HR. Most of these sections are included both on the Icelandic site and English site although since the audience differs, the approach on each language site must be catered appropriately. -

About
I’ve been involved in making websites since the turn of the century and have worn many hats during this time.
Asking questions, learning and solving problems are at my core, which relate directly to user data, usability and beautiful design being very important in my work.
